Air Moldova has suspended the sale of flight tickets, and all flights have been canceled.
According to the airline, the decision was made in connection with the need to urgently carry out restructuring to prevent bankruptcy. It is planned that the accelerated restructuring will allow receiving investments for the development of the company, which will help to pay off existing debts in the future.
“Air Moldova sent a petition to the court to approve the accelerated restructuring of the company, which is an action plan aimed at preventing the bankruptcy of the airline, solving existing problems and obtaining investments,” the airline said in a statement.
At the moment, investors are ready to invest about $50 million in Air Moldova. These investments will solve the company’s financial problems and replenish its own fleet.
It is planned that the airline will resume operations within 3 days after the court’s decision.
